It should NOT be allowed. But in Washington if you have an argument and the guy next door calls the police they pick some one out and put you in jail. They accuse you of beating some one up. They set the bond so high that you can't get out. Then make you wait 6 weeks for a "speedy trial" as they call it. The only way to get out is to plead guilty at one of the hearings prior to the "speedy trial". So it's either plead guilty or spend 6 weeks in the slammer and lose your job and everything you own. I'm sorry but that is a little extreme for having an oral dispute!!!!!

Why it does not make sense is likely because of this. A District court judge in pierce county Washington released a wife beater. A WIFE BEATER!!!!! LET ME MAKE THAT CLEAR, A WIFE BEATER!!!!!!!!

The guy upon his imediate release went home and and carved her up with a knife. The kind of carving that ends in cremation or burial. The State got sued (and rightfully so).

But you see this pissed them off. Now a 5th degree misdameanor
that is nothing more then a verbal dispute becomes just shy of a felony in this State.

As far as the question of less damage thing in Washington they take the Man. The man goes DOWN. If it's a couple gay guy's I don't know how they decide. The bigger guy? Not sure as I'm not gay.

But I DO know that something is wrong when an argument turns you into a borderline felon that screws up your life for 7 years. All because some douche ass judge released a man who had beaten his wife silly and threatened to kill her.

Make NO MISTAKE! I DO NOT condone in any way shape or form any man beating on any woman or children. But let's get real here.

Otherwise, it just isn't happening.
